In The New Lung Cancer Pandemic in Poisoned Nation by Loretta Schwartz-Nobel, the youngest victims of smoking were children who trust advertisements or imitate others (p. 133). The other victims of smoking, women and non-smokers, run a high level of risk of getting cancer (p. 138). Lorreta explained that the measures taken to reduce the risk of tobacco were followed by some countries and prevented by others (p. 146). 30% of American deaths are related to smoking (p. 134). Tobacco advertisements in some countries encourage children to smoke without showing the risk of smoking (p. 135). Additionally, the tobacco industry has discovered that it is difficult for congressmen to buy something that is bad for their bodies. The United States has sent messages that smoking is glamour, wealth and freedom for African children. The United States has used many logos to sell tobacco as “the spirit of the United States”. They promoted these products on t-shirts, pants, notebooks, etc. (page 136). So, as a result of all this advertising, the percentage of smokers has increased up to 70% in the last 25 years. Every year 4.9 million people die from tobacco. Tobacco is predicted to kill 10 million people per year by 2030 (p. 137). Furthermore, the industry targets children and increases the speed of addiction. According to Dr. Martian and Dr. George's report in an ASH article, tobacco companies improve the taste to admire children or new consumers. Tobacco works this way, the receptors in the smoker's brain are addicted to nicotine, making people feel cold and difficult to give up. Almost all of these smokers started before the age of 14 (p. 128). One study found that non-smokers get lung cancer from other smokers they associate with. Non-smokers who live with smokers get lung cancer by 24%, while those who work with them get lung cancer by 39% and who share with smokers s...... half of the paper. .....reduced fine from $130 billion to $10 billion over 25 years. Finally Loretta told us about Barbara Tarbox, who smoked for eleven years and died at 42. He carried out many social activities to raise awareness among people against smoking and explained his situation to be an example for the consequences of smoking. This chapter changes my preconception about tobacco control. My preconception was that no country would want to stop tobacco because the results would be even worse. This chapter will help me write my article in the air pollution section. I learned how air pollution from tobacco affects the health of non-smokers and how we should protect ourselves from smokers. This chapter actually takes me back to a time when my mother always got mad at my uncle when he smoked around us. This information also makes me more cautious in choosing the person I want to deal with or date.
